something of that sort. sire. I am
further informed sires that he is a
thoroughbred F. f. V. Your Excel
.leney is also an E. T. ""
Yes, Daniel, | have heard the
story of my being an K. f. V. l am
glad Mr.. Faulkner is that sort of a
man. We will stand together. We
will have some good times when he
comes to Washington. We will fish,
frolic and veto every day. Let me
see, won't | meet Mr.. Faulkner when
| go to visit Mr.. Kenna ?"
"Yes sire"
81 wonder if it is good place out
there where Mr.. Kenna lives for f.
F. V's?"
81 think it is SIRE"
"Daniel, what does Mr.. Kenna do
when be is at hOme?"
II think he is a lawyer, sire, though
| am told he is some way connected
with blooded live stock and that he
is also associated in some kind of q
Photographic enterprise"
II don't like the live stock part OF
it, Daniel. The newspapers associate
me in some way with live stock and
county fairs and red ribbons and such
things, and | don't like it. I am
sorry Mr.. Kenna has anything to dc
with live stock. But | like the other
business first rate. | am really O .ad
that Mr.. Kenna has a gallery. We
can have my picture taken, can't we
Daniel? l don't believe that Mr.
Kenna would charge me cent for il
either. | tell you Daniel, you ought
to be President. You can get lots o
things for nothing, 1t was never sc
in the other offices L have held
When ! was governor / meyer gOt

gentleman gave me his photograph
and a six. bladed knife and his clothes
but then he didn't need them.

course he had no use for such things
But now, everything is different.
could get enough to buy fifty houses
if it wasn't for you telling me not tC
accept presents while am President
| think you are wrong about that
Daniel. To the victor belong the
spoils,' you know, Daniel. Let's see
that is my motto, isn't it Daniel ?"
sob, no, your eXcelIoncy, tha
won't do in these civil service times
You know, your ExceIlency, you are
the reform President"
"Well, hang it, Daniel. I am get
ting tired of this reform rot. 1t il
mighty unhandy when there is 81
much in sight"

"By the way, Daniel, speaking @
Windy Lucas, or Wilson, or Whatev
er his name is, didn't [ see in some
of the radical papers where he tackl
ed buzz saw or something of th'
sort the other day at Wheeling 2"
II presume your ExceiIency refer
to the Foraker-WiIson matter at tht
reunion at Wheeling"
Yes, perhaps that was what wa
thinking of. This man Foraker is
sort of holy terror, isn't he: He i
the fellow that made me take waite
when | was making my recent rebe
flag bid for the Southern confederate
support, wasn't he ?"
"The same, sire"
"They say that this man Forake
did Windy up in great shape. Well
as dull as you and | are, Daniel, W,
would have more sense than to q
right into soldiers reunion ant
tell them that they were on th
wrong side of the unpleasantness
and the fellows that they Tough
against were as good as they are ant
such stuff as that. We might thinl
like windy upon this subject, but w
wouldn't have had the impudence t.
say it right when a lot of soldier
were recalling the patriotic acts of tn,
Union soldiers, and having regula
love feast.
II think, PANEL, that this Wind,
as you call him, is what the grea
Andrew jackson would have calle(
a id fool. | don't think | wan
this man Windy on our list, Daniel
L am afraid he is entirely too impul
slve and imprudent for our purpose
We can make enough fool blunder
ourselves, Daniel, without havinj
to stand responsible for the imbecil
